Today's action · 10 min

Read the NHS vitamin D page and check whether its autumn-and-winter advice applies to you. If you're unsure, or take other medicines, ask a pharmacist or doctor before starting anything.

Why it works

The NHS says that in the UK, people should consider a daily supplement containing 10 micrograms of vitamin D during autumn and winter, when sunlight is weaker, and warns not to take more than 100 micrograms a day. Advice differs by country and person, so this is general information, not medical advice.
